Military detonated it.They were attempting to disable it, and it detonated on its own. At least that's what I thought I heard.

It's Bush's fault. He should have had the maid pick up Iraq before the war.

Hope this isn't true, but it wouldn't surprise me.

WMD artillery and rocket rounds are found every month in Iraq but the media never reports it. Somebody F-d up BIGTIME. There will be parking spaces and barstools lost over this.

I don't think there is a distinction:

WMD =

Chemical - Sarin

Biological - Smallpox

Nuclear - Obvious

All WMD's. Of course this won't stop the MSM from avoiding it...

It has also been widely reported that, in Iraq, chemical weapons munitions were stored side-by-side with conventional ones. Some scum terrorist may have unknowingly included a chemical warhead in an IED.

But the Democrats have assured us that Bush and company just made the WMD story up so that we could go to war for oil!.

From that article:
"The Iraqi Survey Group confirmed today that a 155-millimeter artillery round containing sarin nerve agent had been found," said Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, the chief military spokesman in Iraq. "The round had been rigged as an IED (improvised explosive device) which was discovered by a U.S. force convoy.

"A detonation occurred before the IED could be rendered inoperable. This produced a very small dispersal of agent," he said.

-The liberals have told us all there are no WMD in Iraq

Iraq has been the destination of a wide range of thugs with all sorts of "gadgets" since the borders became porous after the war... so now anything could be in eyeraq.

Looks like the left is going to have a fire sale on "Bush Lied" and "No WMD" signs, stickers, and other crap like it.

where is the depot? I read some other threads here, supposedly the Marines wiped out a depot (buried) near Fallujah where alot of the insurgents and terrorists got the shells used to maek these IEDs. NEver saw much else about that. Maybe they found a new source?
